Urban Splash has announced Vienna based practice MOH Architects as winners of the Lex competition in Walsall.
The competition, run with RIBA, called for architects to deliver an innovative new concept which would stand on a 2.1 acre site within the Walsall Waterfront scheme.
MOH was selected because of its ability to bring out what is special about the site and use the waterfront location to its full potential.
The outline design comprises four low level buildings which will stand at the Northern end of the site.
The buildings will align the waterfront and will contain a mix of residential and commercial units as well as public courtyards and private residential areas.
Jörg Hugo of MOH, said: "We are thrilled to have had our designs selected and are really looking forward to working with Urban Splash, its partners and the local community to refine the proposals."
MOH were selected following an intense judging process involving six other practices, with Uxbridge based Kirkland Fraser Moore coming a very close second.
